In the 22nd minute, De Bruyne's beautiful low shot was spotted by Alvarez, who followed up with a powerful curling shot to make it 2-0.

De Bruyne also contributed his first goal, his 104th in the league, behind Ryan Giggs and Cesc Fabregas.
Foden sent the ball just outside the box on the 27th second of half-time and Rodney's long-range effort gave City a 3-0 lead.
